Exelent! i bought mine in 1999 and pay $1200. with the first OS was crappy!!! then i found out about the upgrades (os 1.9) and it worked well and even regonized and internal Zip 100 drive that i have installed.No more floppies ,and you can mantain a back up in your pc!!! One of the best features (beside the storage options) is the mark jump section! i can play a song as long or short as i want and even program it while playing live.

Well it dont get any better than this for a stand alone unit it does a good job for seq i ran computer base seq for a few yrs and i got nothing but nightmares in latency and timing problems yrs ago i had a mc 500 and that thing was like god when midi was in its glory days and seq was at its peak and since the software seq hit the shelves it ran the all the stand alone units on the back shelves so now is the time to get one before they hit high market value again also the MC-80 is a good sturdy unit it puts your music in your hands not your wallet as software does i had guys laugh me out of the music store until they here my stuff and the timing is dead on either live our in the studio plus you got hella options either a added hard drive our a gs sound module its my center peice in my studio and i just use the plug ins for the final mix , the stand alone seq is great and what roland is selling them for 800.00 is cheap youl have to special order one through roland our musician freind its worth it and more !!!
